Just had to do that facial scan to verify that I am an adult... I have to try it three times as twice it said it wasn't sure if the picture was of a face.... Thanks for that xD

World building is always fun. Just sitting there and writing facts and making maps. You know half of it will never come up. But it is still a fun and engaging experience

So yeah... I ended up doing it and booking tickets to go to UKGE on Friday. First ever time going to a convention... I am sure it will be fine!

So I just learned the Birmingham Anime and Gaming Con is on the 9th-10th of August.

It is my Birthday on the 8th and I am not working those weeks. Might be worth a shout for an adventure. Wonder who else is going!

So I think I am going to make it a goal to go the UK Games Expo this year as it's in the weekend, and I am sure I can find it easily enough via public transport. Book tickets when I get paid at the end of the month and then book transport... I got this. I think.

... But I know how I feel now feels right (give or take fifty feet)

Anyway thanks for getting to the end of the thread if you made it this far. If you did you are a true hero... So what now? Do I get a gift basket? Is there a party or something I need to do? XD

But last night I reached the breaking point and told my partner. They are extremely supportive and I decided to message a few friends to gauge their reaction and get advice. But this is who I am. This is where I feel comfortable. I might not have all the correct terms to describe how I feel...

... I don't have the bravery to tell my family that I now use different pronouns. I can see the reactions in my mind. This has been a rollercoaster, being autistic and trying to explore your deepest emotional recesses is hard. Trying to find words and sort through hard logic.

Salem - TTRPG Person @salemflame.bsky.social · Apr 2

So in a nutshell. I guess this is me coming out as Non-Binary. Pronoun wise I am going to start with He/They and as I get more comfortable with it, shift towards They/Them. I do have a new name for myself, but that's for a later date. For now I am just coming out online...

Where abouts I am in that middle I don't know yet. Saying that I don't conform to either gender seems to make the most sense to me. It's where I feel happiest when saying it in my heart. It doesn't help that I am still learning about all of this at the lovely age of 31...

These past few months I have been more open to questioning this in secret. Spending many nights lying in bed and trying to work out how I truly feel. I know that I don't feel male. At the same time I certainly don't feel female. So I now know that I am somewhere in the middle.

Salem - TTRPG Person @salemflame.bsky.social · Apr 2

So the past few months I have been quietly sitting down and evaluating my feelings around my gender. If I am honest, it is something that I have never felt truly comfortable with even when I came out as Bi all these many years ago. However it is something I have been actively surpressing.

So I am going to post this here as it's probably the safest place to post it. I apologise for the ramble and how disordered this post is going to be, as I am trying to structure thoughts and writing this is making me nervous. 🧵

A big issue in my life is that I have been floating between three different friendship groups and hobbies and as a result, intend to neglect all three of them. So I am currently trying to debate picking a community and going all in on it and reinforcing those bridges and burning the others

Salem - TTRPG Person @salemflame.bsky.social · Mar 23

I am going live for a Sunday morning stream of Hearts of Iron 4, trying to hunt down some of the games harder achievements because i apparently like to punish myself xD

It is time for another Saturday Moring Stream, and this time i have decided to treat myself and get Two Point Museum. Come join in, relax, pull up a brew and chill, as we build some kind of museum. Apparently, you can spend channel points to make things happen in the game?
